1. Neuroprotection and neurogenesis after experimental stroke
Abstract : In this thesis, two potential endogenous mechanisms for neuronal survival and repair have been investigated in a rat model of stroke, middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO): signaling of the GDNF family of neurotrophic factors, and neurogenesis from endogenous progenitor cells. As determined by in situ hybridization for GDNF family ligand and receptor genes, MCAO caused widespread upregulation of both components of the functional GDNF receptor, c-Ret and GFRalpha1, indicating that GDNF may be a survival signal in stroke.

2. Neurogenesis and gliogenesis after focal brain ischemia. Modulation by enriched environment and exercise
Abstract : New neurons are formed from dividing neural stem cells in restricted areas in the adult mammalian brain: the dentate gyrus of the hippocampal formation (DG) and the forebrain subventricular zone (SVZ). New glia also form constitutively and seem to be important for neuronal function. READ MORE

3. Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide in the brain
Abstract : The hippocampus is an area of active cell proliferation and neurogenesis within the adult mammalian brain. Adult neurogenesis is of great importance for the brain, since it increases neuroplasticity and the ability to respond to environmental stimuli. READ MORE

4. Expression of sulfatide in rodent CNS - not only restricted to myelin
Abstract : Sulfatide is an acidic glycosphingolipid and a component of myelin in the nervous system proposed to be involved in maintenance of the myelin structure and thereby its function. Sulfatide is also a commonly used marker for detection of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells in cultures as well as in tissues. READ MORE

5. Distribution and regulation of neuropeptide Y and its receptors in the human and rat brain : role in affective disorders
Abstract : Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is one of the most abundant peptides found within the mammalian brain. Many studies have documented that this 36-amino acid peptide exerts a wide range of central effects. READ MORE
